Feature Friday – The Naked Man Vintage

Today's featured shop is for the classy guys out there! Okay, so it's a small group, but many are born classy and some are converting over slowly. My husband is one of those that needs a bit of evangelizing and has dipped one toe at a time into my world of nostalgia and dapper duds. 

The Naked Man Vintage is a shop on Etsy that is helping chicks like me entice our men folk into dressing a bit snappier. They only sell vintage men's clothing which makes the whole shop feel masculine and elegant (and helps my husband sit and look without having to get stuck in the quagmire that is my dress and shoe fetish). 

They sell all eras, but I particularly favor the 50's and 60's clean lines and sophisticated vibe. Think Mad Men sexiness. I will occasionally see an older man who always seems to dress more elegantly than everyone around and will be carrying a hat and mother of pearl encrusted cane. I find that I can't take my eyes off this guy and want to walk over and thank him for being classy and making my day better. Wouldn't that be the best?! Having a total stranger walk up to you to let you know that just seeing you has brightened their day?

Get inspired to class it up a bit men! Take a look through The Naked Man Vintage collection by clicking here. 

Thursday Thrill - Cinnamon Spice

I am introducing a new weekly blog post today. I'm calling it Thursday Thrill and will feature an item that I would LOVE to have and something from my shop with which to accessorize it. Truth be told, I'm doing this for my own thrill really. I'm not what people would refer to as "wealthy". Okay, I'm broke. But this is why I'm implementing Thursday Thrill! That way it feels like I somehow have shared something that I'm daydreaming and pining over and you all can share with (read: console & pity) me. 

This first installment of Thursday Thrill features a dress from Dear Golden that inspired this whole idea of a blog post for stuff I adore and desperately desire. This gorgeous, vintage 1940's lace dress is calling my name people! Look at the detail on the hip! 

I'm a swing, lindy, balboa, and blues dancing fanatic and this dress would be THE BEST balboa dance dress EVER. I already have vintage reproduction heels in cognac brown from remix and my feather fascinator would be sooo fun with this! If I didn't want quite as much drama (as if), I could always pair it with my brown sugar button bobby pins as well.
